New Jersey Child Burn Injury Lawyers
Burn injuries involving children can be especially devastating, often causing significant pain, long-term medical complications, and emotional trauma for both the child and their family. These injuries frequently result from preventable accidents such as contact with hot liquids, flames, or heated surfaces, with scald burns being among the most common in younger children. For more than 30 years, Gabriel Lependorf and David Silverstein have been helping families in Princeton and New Brunswick navigate the aftermath of child burn injuries and pursue the compensation they deserve. At Lependorf & Silverstein, P.C., we combine the resources of a larger firm with the personalized attention each client deserves, providing compassionate guidance and strong advocacy every step of the way.

“I met David in January 2020 a few days after my accident and was in intense pain. He compassionately took up my case and went the extra mile to refer me to a pain management doctor. I really appreciate how he professionally handled my case and secured an amicable resolution. Many thanks to David and his team for their efficiency and integrity. I highly recommend his legal services.”

Legal Help for Child Burn Injury Victims
Naturally curious about the world around them and always eager to explore, children have a sense of wonder that captivate adults. As anybody who has ever spent time around children knows this inquisitive nature can be dangerous. One moment of inattention is all it takes for a serious burn injury to occur.
Preventing Burn Injuries
Treating serious burns in children is often complex because they are still growing. If scars are present, they can interfere with the function of affected muscles and joints. A doctor may need to perform multiple surgeries to release contractures. Burns in children can be disfiguring and life-changing. All responsible adults want to do everything possible to protect these most vulnerable members of our society and preventing burns is obviously preferable to treating them. These are some ways to prevent burns in children:
- Setting water heater thermostats to 120 degrees Fahrenheit or lower to avoid scalding injuries
- Keeping pot handles turned in any time you are using your stove
- Keeping liquids and foods that could burn a child away from counter edges
- Storing all flammable materials, including matches and lighters, in a secure place that the child cannot access
- Covering or plugging any electrical outlets that are not in use

Even if you are extremely diligent about protecting your child from burns, the potential for injury still exists. Careless workers at restaurants could place hot liquids within your child’s reach, or the daycare facility you trusted might have tap water that is hot enough to cause a scalding injury. If a negligent party or a defective product caused your child’s burn injury, you could have a legal claim. The New Jersey child injury attorneys at Lependorf & Silverstein, P.C. will review your case at no cost to you. After this initial consultation, we will be able to tell you whether you are likely to obtain a judgment in your favor should you decide to take the case to court. Contact us today at (609) 240-0040.
